Hey guys, just blew my engine, 76,5xx miles. Going through second gear about 4000 rpm under mild boost, then pop, black smoke and very rough idle. THIS ******* SUCKS!!!! I felt a tear well up in my eye as I saw it being pulled up on the flatbed. Well I guess now I can go for the street port. Have to find something positive out of this. This also means my M2 ecu will have to go for a different ecu. More money...more money. Hey by the way I now have a stage 3 M2 ecu for sale. Anyone interested? Just kidding I don't know what I am going to do. There is nobody up here in Washington that replaces I know of, except Hayes, but **** that. I have heard too many horror stories. Wish me luck.

Are you sure you blew it? Maybe your map sensor got unpluged. Dont mean to get your hopes up, but it has happined before. If not, sorry to hear about your motor. Well like you said, now you can get that street port, hell, you might as well get an Apex PFC and a XS engineering single turbo kit while your at it!

sux. best way might be take it apart and check turbos. if motor is shot pull the engine and get a mazda reman for $2k or get a good builder to build you one and drop it in yourself. so you know its done correctly
